This is exactly what people said that they liked about trump. Essentially he isn't polished and says stupid things, "just like regular people!" Is this the new trend? Whenever a wealthy person turns out to be stupid, a certai

citation needed. many of these companies had documented plans to transition to primarily electric vehicles over a period of many years. why is it that you are so convinced that this market shift was causes by one brand? is there any evidenc

Playing Atari is cool, but it's just another "trick". Training a computer to do progressively more difficult tasks doesn't seem much more impressive than training an animal to do so. I see no evidence in the paper that i

I'd like to see someone make the argument that current models aren't just combining a number of "tricks", similar to a trained animal. My dog can "sit", "stay" and "beg", all using the same

if you gave someone the equivalent of wikipedia 1,000 years ago (and the ability to read and understand it), they would seem to have god like knowledge.

I don't blame my phone or the internet for this. Before smart phones the joke was that people would procrastinate by cleaning their room or organizing their desk. It's not about the technology. When it's time to focus, focus.

The human mind is likely infinitely more complex than software that imitates any aspect of it. Just like human thought process is orders of magnitude more complex than that of a parrot.

They would have to be very convinced that someone was going to flip. And even then there's a good chance that the wavering Justice would see this as a ploy the same as you do, and take offense.

what question does DALL-E ask to clear up the difference between "draw four penguins" and "draw six penguins"? how many iterations does it need to get "small red box on top of larger yellow box"? DALL-E is very

how many applications could this hypothetical process handle in a day? 100? 1000? twitter has 213 million active users. imagine if 20% of them want to get verified. it would take decades

You're confused about this. The current twitter moderation guidelines are fairly clear. A tweet cannot target someone for what I can describe as "inherent traits". The classic example is "I hate Muslim men" = banned

I can't say that I've ever felt the emotion of rage when using twitter. People say things I don't agree with all the time, even here. It just doesn't warrant an emotional reaction. My experience with twitter is great. Th
